how does some one who has been a drug addicted for 11 or so years become clean and change there life around...

Answer 1

You'll definately need help and rehab. If you're serious, you can't just quit all at once. If you were taking a lot of drugs and tried to quit cold turkey, it could stop your heart.

Start by cutting down on whatever you're doing. The detox will be hard and you might not think you'll make it sometimes, but just think about the outcome and those in your life that care about you. Hopefully that will be enough to pull you through.

Answer 2

for my brother he went into a residential rehab, when he came out he said the best ways for him to stay sober where a minute at a time, AA meetings (he said even though he was a drug addict NA was too full of war stories and not enough support in his area), and dissolving negative friendships. The hardest part was giving up all his friends, but they where at the very least casual users and he couldn't be around anyone that used period. Good luck and don't give up!!! He was an addict for over 20yrs before he became sober and he is still doing good.
